Our Guide Tonne showed us around the city with several stops along the way tasting different foods and sampling many wines. This tour was great! I would highly recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your trip so you'll have time to revisit some of the stops later during your stay.
Great tour guide. Plenty of food and drink to try. Weather was perfect & all the places we stopped were nice
Tone was great! Loved to be away from the crowds experiencing Venice . Great food tour, discovered real Venice !
Our tour guide was was fantastic. It was a little tricky finding the meeting point, but we did. It was very informative. We ate lots of food for what we paid. It was well worth it. He even escorted us back along the river on the boat to get back to our ship definitely would recommend.
We had a wonderful tour with Denys! He was very knowledgeable and we got to experience all the local cuisine in Venice! Great tour!!!
You can tell that Gulianna loves Venice and the food/wine. Every location had great appetizers, wine, and I loved her “1 min” stops and explanations such as why the digital counter is so important
Denis was a fantastic tour guide! He was funny and entertaining and operated the tour and the perfect pace. I never felt rushed. I recommend touring with Denis every time!
This is a must do in Venice! Vanessa was a great tour guide - we visited several locations to try local food and wine and ended with a lunch - it was so much food and we were very happy with the tour. The fish market was real cool and our tour guide was very informative along our whole tour through Venice - food and cultural!
Food and guide(Denys) were awesome. Well worth the money. Restaurants and service were great. Highly recommended
This was a great food tour. We were fortunate that there was only 12 in our group so I really appreciated it being a smaller group. You might want to confirm group size when you book as Venice's streets are small so doing a food tour with a large group would be challenging. All of the food stops were excellent. We got to hear about the history of each of the places we visited which was really nice and added a special touch. There was a fair bit of food so you will not go hungry. We did about six stops in total and the size of the food portions were generous for a food tour. We also appreciated that at two of the stops we could sit down and eat. This was a big plus for a 4+ hour tour. We really enjoyed the ability to sit. Would definitely recommend!
Denys from Venice was great. He took us to great local spots and shared the history which heightened the experience. We had a very good time. I would highly recommend .
Ana was a super guide, very friendly and warm, and very accommodating to what we liked or disliked to ensure there was lots to choose from. While the market itself was closed (sun/Mon) she still gave great info on what is available and how the fish is prepared, along with great insights on Venice itself. Come hungry….. we made the mistake of eating breakfast before we came, as there is a lots of food and drink on this tour which got better and better at each stop. Thanks again, really enjoyed it!
Anna was our guide and she was great. She showed us the Rialto Market, taking the time to answer questions about the different kinds of fish and explain to us about Italian artichokes. She then brought us to five different establishments for chichetti, traditional Italian pastry, and gelato, as well as wine and spritzes. I definitely felt like it was a great value for what we paid and a really great way to spend a late morning walking around parts of Venice we otherwise might not have found. One thing I really love about food tours is that you get a glimpse into the lifestyle of the locals. Anna was great about that.
An exceptional guide with great food and wine choices on the tour. As a family of 4 adults we would highly recommend this as a great day out , so full afterwords. The guide was interesting and added to the experience.
Favorite part of our recent trip to Venice! This was sp much fun and we learned so much. Highly recommend!
This was a great food tour of some traditional Venice Cicchetti and wine tasting. The walk around the Rialto area was fun and informative. Silvia is a great tour guide and gave us lots of history about Venice as well as the food we ate. I would highly recommend this tour.
All the food tastings and information provided by the guide about the area. Great guide and so knowledgeable.
Monica was knowledgable and friendly--an outstanding guide. We learned so much from this tour and we enjoyed every minute!
We found this wine and food tour to be a great way to get in the trenches and experience a cross section of foods and wine. Ana, our guide, was the perfect combination of fun and energy to take us around. The portions were generous and the wine was plentiful. All locations were within easy walking distance. It went by quickly and we left with a great memory.
